La Canada Presbyterian Church: Growing Families Presents “The Overachievement Trap”

Join La Canada Presbyterian Church on Sunday, September 20, at 9:30 a.m., at the Fellowship Hall, as Dr. Jeffrey Prater, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist, tells about feeling overwhelmed by the pressure for children to achieve high grades and the burden of extracurricular activities all while trying to maintain a peaceful home! How do you know the difference between a healthy expectation and desire for your children to do well and an unhealthy pressure to achieve? Come hear alternatives to the overachievement trap and create a family plan for restoring and maintaining balance in your home.
